Bull Elk (Wapiti)

The Elk is also called Wapiti, a name that comes from some native American languages. Male elk are called bulls and typically are about 8 feet long and 5 feet high at the shoulders. Average weight is about 700 lbs., but some have been known to weigh over 1000 lbs. Their huge antlers can weigh 40 lbs or more. They truly are impressive creatures! And to hear one bugle can leave one in awe!

Elk are beautiful animals. Years ago when Century Drive, west of Bend, was just a dusty dirt road, my dad and I were camped on Little Lava lake. The deer season was long in those days and stretched clear into November and December. It was freezing at night and warmed up in the afternoons. We we sacked out in our tent. Out across the lake and toward Mt. Bachelor elk began bugling. Late at night in the cold crisp air those sounds were eerie and wonderful. Those are great memories.
